Powderly to lead global health initiatives
One of the goals of William G. Powderly, MD, newly appointed director of Washington University in St. Louis’ Institute of Public Health (IPH), is to integrate IPH’s five centers — including the Center for Global Health, which he also heads — so that they can address issues both locally and globally. Among the Institute’s initiatives is investigating whether cleaner-burning indoor cookstoves can alleviate health problems in northwest India.
